Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \((-\infty,-2) \cup[4, \infty)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given function,
\(f(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{[x]^{2}-[x]-6}}\)
where \([x]\) is greatest integer \(\leq x\).
\(\begin{array}{ll} & {[x]^{2}-[x]-6>0} \\ \Rightarrow & {[x]^{2}-3[x]+2[x]-6>0} \\ \Rightarrow & ([x]-3)([x]+2)>0 \\ \Rightarrow & ([x]-3)>0,[x]+2 < 0 \\ \Rightarrow & {[x]>3,[x] < -2} \\ \Rightarrow & x \in[4, \infty), x \in(-\infty,-2) \\ \therefore & x \in(-\infty,-2) \cup[4, \infty)\end{array}\)
